Considering the recent sad news about Dave Schultz, I wouldn't be surprised if they were also being careful due to those concussions, without highlighting it.

I think Menegola battles to get back in, big tank and obviously very experienced but someone has to miss out and he worries me.. That game against Melbourne a couple of times I noticed he just doesn't have acceleration this year, the player near him would take off and he didn't have the gears to even try go.
Reckon Holmes on the wing may have pushed him out, with Reg back they potentially also roll Mitch off the wing so it's all very tight atm

GEELONG will once again have a tough week at the selection table with dashing Cat Zach Tuohy given the green light after clearing health and safety protocols.
Tuohy missed his first match of the season against the Bulldogs with his remarkable durability on show in 2022 as the veteran Cat closes in on 250 games.
“Zach will exit Health and Safety protocols this week and will be available for selection,” head of medical and conditioning services Harry Taylor says.
Sam Menegola will also be pressing his case after missing consecutive matches.
“Sam was cleared to play from an AFL Concussion Protocol perspective, however due to some knee soreness Sam was unable to get up for the game,” Taylor says.
“Sam will be a test later this week to determine his availability.”
The Cats will be without a pair of forwards, with both Gary Rohan and Shannon Neale suffering head knocks across the weekend’s action.
“Gary and Shannon will enter the AFL concussion protocols and will be unavailable for this week,” Taylor says.
Sidelined ruck Rhys Stanley is making steady progress after some minor cartilage damage to his knee.
“Rhys is progressing well in his reconditioning program, with the view to increase his group training integration later this week,” Taylor says.
First-year draftee Flynn Kroeger’s surgery was a success last week after the club opted to fix a lingering issue that had troubled his first season at the club.
“Flynn had knee surgery on Tuesday last week to resolve a persistent knee injury,” Taylor says.
“Flynn’s surgery went well, and he will now complete a graduated reconditioning program to allow him to undertake a solid pre-season training period.”
Fellow draftee Cooper Whyte (groin) and veteran Shaun Higgins (knee) remain on the sidelines.

Flynn Kroeger more surgery. Oof. Whyte nowhere to be found. Sure hope these kids are coming back one day
Interesting comments from Parf today (in the Addy) about the impact COVID had on him - “step backwards”.
Refinforces that while some it will just be a few days with mild symptoms and miss a week and back to it, others it might impact for two or three weeks in terms of fitness/training.
All clubs are at risk of this over the next few weeks

I'd hope our players and staff are smart enough to realise we're right on the edge of a flag tilt and take every measure possible, e.g. mini bubble, to avoid a COVID outbreak/affecting our top players, for the next 2 or so months.

Scott was asked about this on 360 a couple of weeks ago and without giving much away, said the club had spoken to players about this and that plans were being put in place. I'd certainly hope and expect our players are willing to sacrifice their social lives for a month. Losing a handful of players to COVID before a final could cost a team the flag.

The biggest exposure risk for COVID is family members bringing it home from school/workplace. It’s going to happen at some point. It’s all down to luck.

When you consider more than 50% of Victorians have contracted Covid, Geelong FC has done amazingly well to date - TOUCH WOOD - Is it just Kolo and Tuohy who each missed a game because of Covid?

Didn't think Kolodjashnij had
Pretty sure it's been Rohan, Parfitt & Tuohy who've missed senior games
Thinking Dahlhaus missed two weeks of VFL, not sure if there's any others who've missed VFL matches though but wouldn't be surprised

Agreed..hope we are incredibly careful for the next 8 weeks.

I think Hawkins and a few others had it in the off-season.
The problem is you can get it a second time. The perfect time for the team to get it would be round 23 tbh.
Miss a stinker of a game against WCE at home, have the finals bye and then not have to worry about reinfection for the finals. Obviously barring any long COVID symptoms and it would be better that they not get it at all.
Jezza did his hammy???

But that means a change this week - have no idea who they bring in given all the “fringe players” are mids/smalls/backs…. Will Neale get a look in?
yep…low grade apparently so hopeful back for the finals…

Club saying Cameron is expected to be fit for the QF is reassuring since they typically err on the side of caution with these things.
